Love the screen printing and the colour. Very clever indeed! The swatches alone look like a little work of art. :)

I'm not really a fan of branding images because I find it distracting, but that's just me. But if you are having problems with people using your images with no permission, or not linking to you, or stealing your designs then I guess you would need to. Could you perhaps make the text a little more opaque so it isn't quite as obvious?

Great design and it does look great on the bias too! I don't "brand" my images, though I have been thinking about it... it's probably a good idea as you never know where your images will end up... like pinterest! :)

Dear Kylie,I wish I lived nearby, so that I could take a lesson in fabric printing with you. I love what you do. As for watermarking your images, I think it is essential. I see my images everywhere and regret not doing this more consistently sooner.Best wishes!Ingrid

Beautiful print Kylie.I don't but probably should watermark my images. So many things in life we should do but so very little time. I'm sure this will come back to bite me in the all too ample behind at some point.

Great new design, love it! I could see a very cool Summer dress made out of that.

As for the branding, I generally watermark images that are associated with my work, but not other things. Sometimes it's important to me that my ownership be clear--even on non-work images--so I mark those. Others seem too generic to bother. :)

I've been thinking about branding my images too. Personally I prefer to see a clear photo, but am increasingly aware of the need to have my name on them. It's sad that it has come to that but it is also important to have ownership.

love your pattern and the mixed colour. so nice. your printing is very neat.i havent marked any of my images, not sure if i will unless uploading hi res images perhaps. i like christinas tip on the opaque text option too.

I looove this pattern Kylie! Lovely seeing you get stuck into the printing.

I've been wondering about the watermarking thing too - I hate the way it looks but maybe it's essential. Doesn't stop people copying work though, I've already seen a copy of my fox brooch for sale in an Etsy shop.
